Extended cardioid capsule
Provides focused vocal capture with off-axis rejection.

Independent shopping perspective
The NCHHEC combines an all-metal Novacore handheld transmitter with Audix’s NCEC extended-cardioid capsule. Its focused pickup pattern and off-axis rejection are intended to reduce surrounding sound in busy performance environments, while internal vibration damping addresses handling noise. The transmitter delivers 24-bit UHF digital operation with AES-256 encryption and IR sync, and its onboard menu keeps controls at the microphone. Power it with one rechargeable 18500 lithium-ion battery or two AA alkaline cells for up to 16 hours of operation.
